The 1960 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season was the 12th F.I.M. Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix season. The season consisted of seven Grand Prix races in five classes: 500cc, 350cc, 250cc, 125cc and Sidecars 500cc. It began on 22 May, with French Grand Prix and ended with Nations Grand Prix in Italy on September 11.
John Surtees won the fourth and final 500cc championship after winning the German Grand Prix. On 28 July 1960, Surtees took to switch to Formula One shortly after winning the classes titles.
Points were awarded to the top six finishers in each race. Only the four best races were counted in all five classes: the Sidecars, 125cc, 250cc, 350cc and 500cc championships.
Each constructor is awarded the same number of points as their best placed rider in each race.
